I’ve had my Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker) for about six months now. I’m sure you have either seen other bloggers, a friend, or a family member rave about how great they are. If you are anything like me, you have probably heavily contemplated whether or not this small appliance is really worth it. Just the way smart phones changed your life in ways you hadn’t even imagined, the same is true for the Instant Pot. This small and convenient appliance will change the way that you cook and look at cooking for the better. My favorite aspect of the Instant Pot is how much time it saves me when preparing meals for my family. Meals like, chili, that would normally need to simmer all day can be ready in as little as a half an hour.

I love how quick and convenient the Instant Pot is. I also loved that I was able to toss out other small appliances and declutter my cabinets because the Instant Pot replaces their purpose. For example, I no longer need a separate rice cooker because the Instant Pot does a fantastic job of perfectly cooking all varieties of rice (my personal favorite is jasmine).

Get dinner on the table fast with this hearty Vegetarian Chili recipe that is made in an Instant Pot. Forget simmering all day, this vegetarian chili recipe goes from electric pressure cooker to your table in less than an hour.
